SPECIAL AND Personal.
n Weather,

Boreas Chats the north wind came
down on the Sunny South with a swoop
Yesterday morning early enough to teach
the dude left over from the night before
that thin legs and a short overcoat
would not save his %windpipe, lu-
bricated with the alcoholic after
math of New Ycar's-day, and the
result Is that numerous solid men of bust
ness don't know why the nice young man
in the store speaks in a whisper and looks
dull out of those eyes whose brightness
il trained to disturb female happiness.
The moral of this anecdote is that weak
mortals should study the weather report
in the DAILY TIMES, and learn when to
thicken thin clothing.
Hearken to the Oracle: On Tuesday,
in New York, slightly warmer, fair
weather will probably prevail, followed by
partly cloudy and cloudy conditions, and
on Wednesday, warmer, cloudy weather.
High northeasterly to easterly winds will
probably prevail on the Atlantic coast
near and south Of Cape Hatteras on
Wednesday, gradually extending north
ward along the coast.
Secretary Lamar has been at Macon,
Ga, irving to avoid the sensation incident
to the report of his marriage. He had
lust sought refuge at the residence OF a
friend in the country. when at 8 o'clock
Saturday night a / brass band halted In front
of the residence Of Colonel w. Ii. Ross,
whose guest the Secretary is, and split the
the air with its noisy music. After play
ing until every member was out OF wind,
calls were made for the Secretary, inter
spersed with hurrahs and cries of Speech
speechr' Mr.. Blount came to the door
and addressed the band. He said he knew
the Secretary would have been charmed
with the music, but unfortunately he was
not in the city. The band was disap-
pointed. The night was cold, and there
was not much fun in blowing and footing
an hour or more and to be informed at
the end of that time that the object Of
the attack WAS not in the city. Now
everybody is laughing at the band.
The Savannah News says that "Chief
Justice Waite is as great a favorite with
the pretty girls of Washington as General
Sherman, and he doesn't try to kiss his
way into popularity either" or course
not. General Sherman ia a soldier, and
must act according to the principles OF
attack and defence as laid down by JO-
mini in the art of war; but the Supreme
Court decides a point, and it is the duty
of the citizens to obey, so that If the old
man on the bench wants to kiss a Sun
day-school scholar he has only to sum
mon her to show cause why the attach
ment should not be levied.
But we let him know that this cannot
be done as to this State, for the girl would
apply to the Idemnity Board and have a

Proud announcement Of a Leaven-
worth contemporary "All the men
thus far implicated in the Adams Elk
press robbery were once residents OF
Leavenworth." This may not bring
business to the town, but, like the Prellel
murder in st. Louis, it will give the peo-
pie something to talk abont.-Ransa'

This resainds one Of the Cluverius
hash served up so persistently.
The Pundit is sad and serius,
The Moonshee is learned and wise,
When they gaily perform on Cluverius'
And wildly mould mud into pies.
